Chapter 483: Chapter 490: See You in the Next Life
The battle before was too horrific, Zhao Fan’s subordinate army suffered over half in casualties, many of their brothers and friends died directly or indirectly at Han Yu’s hands. Without the composure of their leader in black, had they not needed to capture this woman to report to their superior, they would have wished to kill her right then to vent their anger.
The smile on the face of the leading man in black had disappeared, obviously due to Su Wenyue’s unwillingness to cooperate. “Madam Han, don’t refuse the wine only to be forced to drink a penalty!”
“So what if I do? Do you really think I’ll cooperate with you so obediently, to be used as a threat against my husband? Do I look that foolish to you?” Su Wenyue’s words brimmed with an increasing amount of sarcasm.
“At this point, do you think you still have a choice? If you cooperate, you can suffer less. As long as your husband does as we wish, our master will naturally let you go and give you a way out. Maybe you can even continue to be the General’s Wife. Otherwise,”
“Do you think I would believe your nonsense?” Su Wenyue couldn’t even be bothered to scoff. It wasn’t just that she didn’t believe these people would keep their word, but to comply with their demands would mean nothing but betrayal. Han Yu was not the sort of treacherous person to break his promises. If these people were to use her to threaten Han Yu, Su Wenyue wasn’t sure what choices Han Yu would make. In the past, Su Wenyue believed that Han Yu would surely sacrifice her for his future and career, but now, she could feel Han Yu’s feelings for her and was even less inclined to have him struggle between choices, especially not to put himself in danger to save her.
Moreover, Su Wenyue had already prepared herself for any eventuality today; when she had decided to lure these people away, she had been ready to risk her life. That escape now seemed impossible was within her expectations.
“Boss, what’s there to talk about with this unappreciative woman? Just take her down, I refuse to believe that she could overturn the heavens!” one man in black said disdainfully, impatient with Su Wenyue’s desperate struggle. He thought the leader was being too polite, which emboldened this woman to overstep her bounds. If they just subdued her, wouldn’t that be the end of it? At the top of this high cliff, with no escape, could she possibly fly away?
The man in black had never considered the possibility of Su Wenyue jumping off the cliff. In his view, these upper-class ladies and misses, coddled within the backyard since childhood, were just women with long hair and short sight who only knew pleasure, waiting for men to cherish them. All of them were weak and fearful of death, lacking the courage for such an act.
“Since Madam Han is uncooperative, don’t blame me for being rude!” The leading man in black, tired of Su Wenyue’s stalling, started issuing orders to his subordinates.
Su Wenyue watched the men in black slowly close in around her without a trace of nervousness on her face. Her expression was resolute, her smile tragic despite her disheveled appearance, she looked hauntingly beautiful.
The leading man in black saw Su Wenyue’s reaction and sensed something amiss. This was not the response of someone who would give up easily. That resolute and tragic smile made him suddenly realize something, and he shouted loudly, “Quick! Stop her; don’t let her jump off the cliff!”
Alas, it was too late. Su Wenyue was only a few steps away from the edge of the cliff. Seeing the leader in black’s reaction, she didn’t hesitate to leap off the cliff, leaving behind the words, “Even if my body shatters to pieces, I will never let you have the chance to use me to threaten Han Yu.”
“Han Yu, we will meet again in the next life. In the next life, I would still be willing to be your wife, I love you!”
